Documentation is crucial for the development and growth of any project. If you know English, you're lucky; most technical knowledge is in that language. But what about those who don’t? 😢

A few years ago, the official Python documentation wasn’t available in Spanish, creating two main challenges:

• Many Spanish speakers with limited English skills struggled to access the documentation.
• Translation efforts were fragmented, with different communities attempting partial translations.

Offering the official Python documentation in Spanish provides the global Spanish-speaking community with the opportunity to access it directly, without needing a second language; it also creates bonds of identity among those who join the collective exercise of explaining and translating the documentation's concepts. It generates identity and community!

In this talk, we'll share the journey of Python-Docs-ES, the lessons learned from nearly 230 contributors, and how you can join in, whether in Spanish or in your own language.

Contributing to Python doesn’t always mean writing complex code, it can also mean making knowledge accessible to more people. 💡✨
